climate change + security + oil

14. ‘The best scientific
projections indicate
that we have very
little time left -
indeed, less than one
hundred months - in
which to alter our
behaviour drastically.
Although I wish it
were otherwise, I fear
we have reached the
point when if we do
too little, too late to
tackle this problem,
the consequences
could be
catastrophic.’

16. ‘Can nine billion people be fed? Can we cope
with the demands in the future on water? Can
we provide enough energy? Can we do it, all
that, while mitigating and adapting to climate
change? And can we do all that in 21 years
time? That's when these things are going to
start hitting in a really big way. We need to act
now. We need investment in science and
technology, and all the other ways of treating
very seriously these major problems. 2030 is
not very far away.’
Professor Sir John Beddington 19th March 2009, London
18. "Regardless
of which route we
choose, the world's
current predicament
limits our maneuvering
room. We are
experiencing a
step-change in the growth
rate of energy demand
due to population growth
and economic
development, and Shell
estimates that after
2015 supplies of
easy-to-access oil
and gas will no
longer keep
up with
demand."
Jeroen van der Veer, CEO Shell

25. Climate Change Act Targets
• 1990 baseline of CO2 emissions was
approximately 590 million tons of CO2.
• An 80% reduction is based on the minimum
reductions necessary to avoid causing
catastrophic and permanent changes to the
climate
• 80% of 590m tons = 118 million tonnes.
• The UK level of CO2 emissions (1.76
tonnes/capita cf. ~10 tonnes today) hasn’t
been that low since…… when?
